Music Video
In relation to my music video, my intention was to create an art form that
communicated imaginative and hallucinatory perspectives (i.e. surrealism) of
life – philosophies that are often visited within the genre of my piece. I
illustrated this quality through my editing approach of artistic overlays,
conversions of vivid colour, character transfiguration and more. My product
meets some conventions of existing videos - such as the inclusion of the
artists & song name at the beginning - in order to produce a sophisticated
exterior, however, it also flouts a number of expectations, which in itself is
expected of this particular genre as artistic preference overrides promotion .
Continuity is present within all of my products as I consistently employ the
same font ‘Times New Roman’, the use of overlays and graphics.
Are my products effective?

  • 3. Music Video In relation to my music video, my intention was to create an art form that communicated imaginative and hallucinatory perspectives (i.e. surrealism) of life – philosophies that are often visited within the genre of my piece. I illustrated this quality through my editing approach of artistic overlays, conversions of vivid colour, character transfiguration and more. My product meets some conventions of existing videos - such as the inclusion of the artists & song name at the beginning - in order to produce a sophisticated exterior, however, it also flouts a number of expectations, which in itself is expected of this particular genre as artistic preference overrides promotion . Continuity is present within all of my products as I consistently employ the same font ‘Times New Roman’, the use of overlays and graphics.
